We are born into a world
Not of our own making
We must pay for the mistakes
Of yours' and past generations
We were just little babies
Lives ripe for the taking
With a cloud of smog surrounding us
Politicians' hearts are breaking
Chorus:
And we're living for a broken tomorrow
Gasping for air today
There's no time that we can borrow
Who will come to save the day?
And we're living for a broken tomorrow
Gasping for air today
There's no time that we can borrow
Who will come to save the day?
We were born
With so much to be fixed
All my friends, for their ends,
They fix just for a fad
And we were born
With insurmountable odds against our survival
Guns and war, i'm not sure
But i think we've all gone mad
Chorus
But what about my generation
Why do we feel this way
What about my generation
Can't we make everything okay
What about the destitution that we see everywhere we turn
As we are stripped of hope 'cause there is nothing more to learn
Nothing more to learn…
And that's why we're living
And we're gasping
And we're dying (ah)
Who will come to save the day…?
